Absolutely Free: A Biblical Reply to Lordship Salvation

Absolutely Free: A Biblical Reply to Lordship Salvation by Hodges, Zane C.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780310519607.

In Absolutely Free! Zane Hodges deals with a question that strikes at the heart of the Christian faith, "What must I do to be saved?" By examining various Bible passages Zane Hodges demonstrates the answer today is still "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved." This answer is set in contrast against modern "lordship salvation" teaching which answers "Surrender to the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved." or "Repent to the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved." While looking at what the Bible teaches about eternal salvation, he answers other key questions about the Christian life from the Bible such as, "What does it mean to believe in Jesus Christ?", "How do I know I am really a Christian?", "Can I fail in my Christian walk?", "What is the biblical meaning of repentance and how does it relate to salvation?" and "If I am saved, why should I serve God?" The end result of this book motivates individuals to simply believe in Jesus Christ for the absolutely free gift of eternal life and to serve Jesus out of gratitude for that free gift. This book is a great guide on how to build ones life on a firm foundation.
